Tamara Wilson is a second-year undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Social Science, majoring in Counselling and Psychology, with the goal of becoming a clinical psychologist. Over the past decade, Tamara has worked as an activist, documenter, and visual activist photographer. She has been actively involved in the Free Palestine movement as a member of South African Jews for a Free Palestine, and in LGBTQIA+ advocacy through her volunteer work with Majawie Safe Space, an organisation dedicated to advancing the rights and safety of transgender women in the Cape Flats and Winelands. She is also a volunteer for Khumbulani Pride (meaning “remember” in isiXhosa), a Pride initiative that raises awareness of queer rights in townships across Cape Town, while commemorating victims of hate crimes. Tamara’s activism photography work has been exhibited by IAM and published in various publications, including the Sunday Star and Beyond the Margins. Tamara’s academic and professional interests lie in exploring the role of psychology in interrogating and challenging systems of power and oppression, including addressing racism, white supremacy, Zionism within the South African Jewish community, homophobia and patriarchy.
